Drilling Intersects High Grade Gold at Tabakorole in Southern Mali

DIDCOT, UK / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / Altus Strategies Plc (AIM:ALS) (TSX-V:ALTS) (‘'Altus'' or the ‘'Company''), announces high grade drilling results from the FT Prospect at the Company's Tabakorole gold project ("Tabakorole" or the "Project") in southern Mali. The drilling was completed by Graphex Mining Limited (ASX:GPX) ("Graphex") under the joint venture ("JV") with Altus.

Highlights:

Results from an eight-hole (1,544m) diamond drilling programme at Tabakorole
Intersections include 4.7 g/t Au over 14.0m and 1.2 g/t over 31.0m (not true widths)
Potential 600m long north-west extension confirmed with 1.2 g/t Au over 12m
Project remains open along strike and down dip
Updated mineral resource estimate on Tabakorole is now being prepared
Graphex is earning an initial 33% interest in the Project under the JV
Altus holds a Net Smelter Return gold royalty on Tabakorole

Steven Poulton, Chief Executive of Altus, commented:

"We are encouraged to report the high grades and broad widths of gold mineralisation intersected from the recent drilling programme at Tabakorole. The programme was financed and completed by our ASX-listed JV partner Graphex Mining, which is earning an initial 33% interest in the Project. The intersection of 4.7 g/t gold over 14m, within a wider envelope of 38m averaging 2.1 g/t gold is excellent. The results have also extended a high-grade plunge that was not previously modelled in the 2007 historical mineral resource estimate. An updated independent mineral resource estimate is now being prepared, which will include results from the 11,736m of reverse circulation and 1,936m of diamond drilling that have occurred at Tabakorole since 2007."

"The potential of the 600m long north-west extension has also been confirmed, with an intersection of 1.2 g/t gold over 12m from the one diamond hole drilled in this area, which is in the vicinity of the recently reported shallow aircore drill intersection of 6.2 g/t gold over 6m from 14m depth."

"We look forward to updating shareholders on the progress at Tabakorole and specifically with news on the updated mineral resource estimate when available."

Drilling programme

The drilling was undertaken by Capital Drilling Limited and consisted of eight diamond drill holes for a total of 1,544m. The drill results are summarised in Table 1 below. The holes were drilled between -52 and -60 degrees inclination, perpendicular to the strike of the FT Prospect and ranged between 62.5m to 293.0m in length.

The programme was designed to:

Test high-grade plunge extensions;
Drill untested gaps in the deposit;
Drill a single hole into the north-west strike extension; and
Provide QAQC support for the deposit model.

Testing high-grade plunge extensions

One of the key aims of the programme was to target the interpreted high-grade plunge extension at the south-east end of the FT Prospect. Three holes were positioned to following-up on historical intersections of 2.5 g/t Au over 24m (hole 10FLRC-01A) and 2.6 g/t Au over 24m (hole 10FLRC-06A). Drilling successfully confirmed and expanded the high-grade plunge extension and returned the following results:

20TBK-DD_004: 2.1 g/t Au over 38m from 145m, including 4.7 g/t Au over 14m from 145m
20TBK-DD_001: 1.2 g/t Au over 31m from 191m, including 2.1 g/t Au over 6m and 4.0 g/t Au over 4m
20TBK-DD_003: 1.0 g/t Au over 35m from 170m, including 1.3 g/t Au over 20m from 173m

The mineralisation remains fully open to the south-east and represents a high priority target for follow up drill testing.

Drilling untested gaps

Despite the amount of historical drilling, numerous untested gaps within the FT Prospect exist. Three holes were drilled to infill some of these areas and provide greater continuity for the forthcoming updated mineral resource estimate:

20TBK-DD_005: target an untested gap and intersected 1.0 g/t Au over 47.0m to a maximum depth of 85.0m from surface. This area of the FT Prospect did not previously contribute to the historical resource estimate due to the low drill density. This hole demonstrates the continuity of the resource and is higher grade than the material immediately down dip. Hole 20TBK-DD-005 will be included in the new mineral resource estimate.
20TBK-DD_006: was drilled up-dip of historical hole 05FLDDH-14 (which intersected 11.2 g/t Au over 9m). This hole intersected 0.5 g/t Au over 25m.
20TBK-DD_002: was drilled on the same section as 20TBK-DD_006 and intersected 1.2 g/t Au over 27m.

North-west extension

The north-west extension represents a significant opportunity to grow the FT Prospect.

20TBK-DD_008 tested the north-western extension between previously drilled aircore holes. It will aid in interpreting the orientation of the orebody in this area. This hole successfully intersected both interpreted lodes returning 1.2 g/t Au over 12m from 41m and 0.8 g/t Au over 8m from 111m.

Results from this single diamond hole reinforce the potential along this part of the prospect, especially when viewed alongside the recent aircore drilling, which encountered a 28m wide zone with an average grade of 2.7 g/t Au and a best intercept of 6.2 g/t Au over 6m (see Company announcement of 06 August 2020).

Tabakorole Project: Location

The 100 km2 Tabakorole gold project is located in southern Mali, approximately 280 km south of the capital city of Bamako. The Project sits on the Massagui Belt which hosts the Morila gold mine (operated by Barrick NYSE:GOLD, TSX:ABX), located approximately 100 km to the north. The Project is 125 km southeast of the Yanfolila gold mine (operated by Hummingbird AIM:HUM) and 100 km east of the Kalana gold project (operated by Endeavour Mining TSX:EDV). Mineralisation hosted on these properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralisation hosted at Tabakorole.

Tabakorole Project: Geology

Tabakorole comprises a 2.7 km long shear zone which is up to 200m wide, hosted in the Archaean and Birimian aged Bougouni Basin of the Man Shield of southern Mali. The geology is dominated by clastic sediments, cut by northwest trending deformation zones which host gold mineralisation. At least two, possibly three, Eburnean deformation events are believed to have affected the geology of Tabakorole. The Project hosts the FT Prospect comprised of mylonites, sheared diorite, gabbro, mafic dykes and late stage felsic dykes, within a folded and deformed metasedimentary package of meta-siltstone, meta-wacke and meta-sandstone. Mineralisation is locally most favourably associated where structures cut gabbro and along lithological contacts with gabbro.

Tabakorole Project: Historical exploration

The Project was discovered by a regional soil sampling programme completed on a 500m x 100m grid by BHP in the early 1990s. Since 2003, a total of 28,912m of DD, 31,943m of RC, 6,577m of auger drilling and 62,718m of AC have been completed, in addition to 1,400 line km of airborne geophysics. A selection of drill intersects from Tabakorole is shown in Table 2.

In 2010, a total of 58 RC holes (5,492m) were completed within and along strike of the FT Prospect. Results included 6.05 g/t Au over 18.0m from 12.0m (10FLRC-12A) and 2.53 g/t Au over 24.0m from 48.0m (10FLRC-01A) (not true widths).

AIM ImmunoTech Provides Second Quarter 2020 Business Update and Reports Progress in Both COVID-19 and Cancer Trials

Phase 1/2a trial of Ampligen in combination with interferon alfa-2b in cancer patients with COVID-19 is on track for enrollment

OCALA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / AIM ImmunoTech (NYSE American:AIM), an immuno-pharma company focused on the research and development of therapeutics to treat immune disorders, viral diseases and multiple types of cancers, today provided a business and pre-clinical/clinical update for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights:

As of June 30, 2020, AIM had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $40.3 million, as compared to $8.8 million as of December 31, 2019.
Research and development expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $1.46 million, compared to $1.10 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $1.72 million, compared to $1.94 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

The Company's complete financial results are available in the Company's June 30, 2020 Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2020, which is available at www.sec.gov and on the Company's website.

"AIM is engaged in extremely important and potentially groundbreaking pre-clinical and clinical research in critical unmet medical needs such as COVID-19 and cancer-providing us ‘multiple shots on goal' within large addressable markets. Given these multiple indications, AIM's strategy to support these trials has been to maximize third-party, non-dilutive funding directly awarded to the clinical sites, which we have accomplished in many of our trials. In addition, we had more than $40 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. As a result, we believe we are extremely well positioned to execute on our strategy going forward, which, in turn, we expect will drive significant value for stockholders," said AIM CEO Thomas K. Equels.

COVID-19 General Updates:

Following the FDA's authorization of an IND on May 11, 2020, AIM entered into a clinical trial agreement on July 6, 2020, with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center to support Roswell Park's Phase 1/2a trial of Ampligen in combination with interferon alfa-2b in cancer patients with COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. The trial is on track to commence patient enrollment soon.
AIM signed a trilateral material transfer and research agreement with Japan's National Institute of Infectious Diseases and Shionogi & Co., Ltd., a leading global pharmaceutical company headquartered in Japan, in order to test Ampligen as a potential vaccine adjuvant for COVID-19. Ampligen has been shipped to Japan, to be followed up with an additional shipment.

AIM is currently collaborating with Shenzhen Smoore, the world's largest vaping device manufacturer, to research the use of their innovative inhalation technology for enhaced delivery of Ampligen deep into the lungs at the first signs of COVID-19. The Company believes this approach may initiate a robust, therapeutic TLR3 response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus throughout the upper and lower respiratory system. Ampligen is scheduled to be shipped to Smoore for testing, pending resolution of various China import regulatory requirements.
Ampligen has been shipped to Utah State University to support the University's Institute for Viral Research in its pre-clinical testing againast SARS-CoV-2 and testing is underway.

COVID-19-induced Chronic Fatigue-like Illness Update:

Ampligen has proven to be a powerful drug conferring protective survival in SARS-CoV-1 animal experiments. Ampligen has also shown heightened levels of activity in Phase 2 and 3 trials with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) patients. Ampligen, while experimental in the United States for CFS, is approved in Argentina and is the only late-stage experimental drug for CFS in the U.S. pipeline. Ampligen is also the first drug approved for severe CFS in the world. AIM is preparing to test Ampligen as a potential therapy for a SARS-CoV-2-induced chronic fatigue-like illness. AIM believes Ampligen may play an important role in addressing this multifaceted disease, including the potential post-infection debilitating aspects.

"There is a significant risk that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, will trigger a large number of chronic fatigue-like cases, similar to what occured in the prior SARS-CoV-1 epidemic," said Equels. "Ampligen's strong history of preclinical outcomes with the SARS-CoV-1 virus gives AIM hope for the drug's potential as a prophalaxis, as a vaccine adjuvant and as an early-onset treatment for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and for COVID-19-induced chronic fatigue-like illness. This potential therapy may be especially important for cancer patients, who face significantly increased risk of severe symptoms or death from COVID-19."

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Update:

AIM received clearance from ANMAT to import the first shipment of commercial grade vials of Ampligen to Argentina. The next steps in the commercial launch of Ampligen include ANMAT conducting a final inspection of the product and release tests before granting final approval to begin commercial sales. AIM has shipped Ampligen to its partner in Argentina, GP Pharm, which is required for testing and ANMAT release. Once final approval by ANMAT is obtained, the commercial launch of Ampligen in Argentina is planned. Further, AIM continues to pursue its Ampligen New Drug Application, or NDA, for the treatment of traditional CFS with the FDA.

Immuno-oncology Update: Equels further noted, "Given the advances in our third-party funded, investigator-sponsored cancer clinical trials, we believe there is real potential for AIM to become a powerhouse in oncology, as clinical data is reported in these trials. The fact that tens of millions of dollars in grants have been provided to world-class investigator/oncologists at top national cancer centers, from such esteemed organizations as Merck, the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Cancer Institute, clearly supports my faith in Ampligen."

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Moffitt Cancer Center have both received "Breakthrough Awards" from the U.S. Department of Defense in Brain Metastatic Breast Cancer. Together, these separate-but-parallel proposed clinical trials are receiving approximately $15 million in federal funding in part with a significant focus upon Ampligen as a potential synergistic agent in combination with several other immunotherapies, including pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and Intron A.
The National Cancer Institute issued an award of $14.5 million to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center to fund five clinical trials in melanoma, colorectal and ovarian cancers. These trials will test chemokine modulation incorporating Ampligen as an immuno-modulator, as part of a strategy to turn "cold" tumors into "hot" tumors.
Advanced Recurrent Ovarian Cancer – This Phase 1/2 study of Ampligen as an intraperitoneal therapy in advanced recurrent ovarian cancer has completed 12 subjects in Phase 1; the Phase 1 portion established intraperitoneal safety sufficient to proceed with a larger Phase 2 study (See below). (https://aimimmuno.irpass.com/Hemispherx-Reports-Positive-Safety-and-Survival-Data-in-Phase-1-Stage-4-Ovarian-Cancer-Clinical-Stud) We are awaiting publication of results. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02432378
Advanced Recurrent Ovarian Cancer – Based upon the above, a 45-subject follow-up Phase 2 study of advanced recurrent ovarian cancer is underway principally funded via a Merck grant and using cisplatin, pembrolizumab and Ampligen. Enrollment commenced in January 2019 and numerous patients are now well into treatment. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03734692 (https://aimimmuno.irpass.com/Hemispherx-Biopharma-Announces-Commencement-of-a-New-45-Subject-Clinical-Trial-Combining-Ampligen-an)
Stage 4 Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer – Phase 2 study of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer using chemokine modulation therapy, including Ampligen and pembrolizumab. All patients have been treated or are near completion of treatment. https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03599453
Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer Metastatic to the Liver – Phase 2a study of Ampligen as
component of chemokine modulatory regimen on colorectal cancer metastatic to liver; the majority of the 12 planned patients enrolled and treated. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03403634
Early-Stage Prostate Cancer – Phase 2 study investigating the effectiveness and safety of aspirin and Ampligen with or without interferon-alpha 2b (Intron A) compared to no drug treatments in a randomized three-arm study of patients with prostate cancer before undergoing radical prostatectomy. Patient enrollment has been initiated in this study designed for up to 45 patients. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03899987
Early-Stage Triple Negative Breast Cancer – Phase 1 study of chemokine modulation plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with early-stage triple negative breast cancer has received FDA authorization; the objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a combination of Ampligen, celecoxib with or without Intron A, when given along with chemotherapy; the goal of this approach is to increase survival. This study is recruiting and is designed for up to 24 patients. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04081389
A study of Ampligen as a drug for late-stage pancreatic cancer is complete and the research team at Erasmus M.C. is currently compiling the final data from this early access approval-based study. We are enthusiastically awaiting the publication of these results.

With the nation's health care system increasingly focused on the COVID-19 pandemic – and with cancer patients especially at risk for the disease – AIM recognizes that all cancer centers, like all medical facilities, must make the pandemic their priority. Therefore, there is the potential for delays in clinical trial enrollment and subsequent reporting in ongoing studies in cancer patients because of the COVID-19 medical emergency. However, AIM intends to move forward without delay and we believe the teams at all of the clinical sites are eager to keep forward momentum.

Cautionary Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "plan," "anticipate" and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events or circumstances) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Many of these forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among other things, for those statements, we claim the protection of safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the PSLRA. We do not undertake to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof. For example, significant additional testing and trials will be required to determine whether Ampligen will be effective in the treatment of COVID-19 in humans and no assurance can be given that it will be the case. Results obtained in animal models do not necessarily predict results in humans. Human clinical trials will be necessary to prove whether or not Ampligen will be efficacious in humans. No assurance can be given as to whether current or planned immuno-oncology clinical trials will be successful or yield favorable data and the trials are subject to many factors including lack of regulatory approval(s), lack of study drug, or a change in priorities at the institutions sponsoring other trials. In addition, initiation of planned clinical trials may not occur secondary to many factors including lack of regulatory approval(s) or lack of study drug. Even if these clinical trials are initiated, the Company cannot assure that the clinical studies will be successful or yield any useful data or require additional funding. Some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions are racing to find a treatment for COVID-19. Even if Ampligen proves effective in combating the virus, no assurance can be given that our actions toward proving this will be given first priority or that another treatment that eventually proves capable will not make our efforts ultimately unproductive. We recognize that all cancer centers, like all medical facilities, must make the pandemic their priority. Therefore, there is the potential for delays in clinical trial enrollment and reporting in ongoing studies in cancer patients because of the COVID-19 medical emergency. No assurance can be given that future studies will not result in findings that are different from those reported in the studies referenced. Operating in foreign countries carries with it a number of risks, including potential difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights.

Jade Leader’s Wyoming Sky Zone Yields First Documented Bedrock Source of High-Quality Jade Historically Found as Alluvial Material

CALGARY, ALBERTA / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / Jade Leader Corp. (TSX.V:JADE) ("Jade Leader", or "The Company") is pleased to report on recent progress on its Wyoming Jade projects, including field work and Jade recovery from the newly defined Sky zone and testing of a representative selection of 2019 trenching samples.

Importantly, although extracted directly from enclosing bedrock, Jades recovered from the Sky Zone show both the irregular shapes and fine-grained textures of high quality, fine-grained Jades typically found at surface and long believed to be either alluvial deposits or ventifacts (stones sculpted by wind-blown sand). Historically these have been some of Wyoming's highest quality Jades, yet zealous surface collecting over the last century has reportedly nearly exhausted supplies (Wyoming Geological Survey reference to the historical material can be found at www.wsgs.wyo.gov/minerals/gemstones). As the only currently documented in-situ occurrence of this type of material, the Sky Zone provides the first indication that this Jade is not simply a weathering product and opens the possibility of future larger-volume production from hard-rock sources.

Sky Zone

The Sky Zone is the northeastern continuation of the Jade mineralization found in Trenches T1A and T1C in September/October of 2019 ( ref: NR 19-06, October 1, 2019 and NR 19-07 of October 24 2019). Small samples of Jade recovered at that time were processed over the winter with standard lapidary equipment to determine the material's color texture and consistency. This revealed very fine-grained, cryptocrystalline nephrite Jade with high translucency and uniform green colors. The target was revisited in July of 2020 to determine the geological controls on Jade distribution and to obtain larger samples for processing and potential test-marketing of Jade from the zone.

The Sky Zone has now been mapped over 49 feet (15 meters) of strike length, with Jade occurring as irregular lenses, nodules and pods within shear zones associated with an intrusive pegmatite dyke. The jade occurs along the pegmatite contact and in quartz veins and fracture fillings extending up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) into the country rock from the intrusive body. Samples were recovered from their hard rock source matrix by hand drilling and prying blocks free. The zone currently remains open in all directions.

A total of 110 pounds (49.9 Kg) of fine-grained green Jade has been recovered from the Sky Zone, with the largest single sample weighing 25.6 pounds (11.6 Kg). Another 51 pounds of Jade, partially to completely altered to a cream/ivory color, was also recovered. The most unusual Jade found was about 30 lbs. (13 kg) of green Jade with inclusions of sharp quartz crystals; this may have significant mineral specimen potential. Samples of all three types will be cleaned, classified and photographed for test marketing in local and international markets.

Observations linking the in-situ Sky Jades with Wyoming's historical surface high quality jades are made on the basis of the irregular shapes of the lenses, pods and nodules, their fine grain and consistent color as well as presence of quartz inclusions.

Photographs of the in-situ, extracted material and an initial polished sample of the Jade are included in this release as Pictorial-Sky Zone Jades (A-E).

Additional 2019 Trench Sample Evaluations

A total of 38 of the 52 samples recovered from trench T1C in September 2019 (combined weight of 1,930 pounds (875.4 Kg)) were selected for testing as representative of the breccia-hosted Jades of the T1 target area.

These samples were cut on one side to expose the stone's internal color, texture and translucency for detailed description. 36 of the stones ( 95% by weight of samples tested) passed the testing and workability evaluation; the remainder had defects and failed.

The material that passed is medium-grained and has a fairly uniform, mottled, medium to dark green color. It shows few fractures and has excellent competency. Translucency varies with grain size, and generally allowed light transmission of a few millimeters from a point source Jade light. Six of the samples were fully sanded and polished to show the range of colors and textures of the material. (See attached pictorial, T1 Target Ornamental Jades).

Thin (1-4 mm) slices of T1 target Jade collected south and west of trench T1C during the program were also cut to evaluate the stone's suitability as ornamental or architectural stone. The stone testing results to date have been very encouraging, so the Company has commenced a product development program based on this material to generate marketable finished product examples for test marketing in local and international markets.

Mr. Jean-Pierre Jutras, P.Geol., President of the Company, is the Qualified Person for the Company's Jade projects as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

GEE Group Announces Results for the Fiscal 2020 Third Quarter

Company Reports Positive Trends, Positive EPS and Strengthened Balance Sheet

JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / GEE Group Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN:JOB) ("the Company" or "GEE Group"), a provider of professional staffing services and human resource solutions, today announced results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2020.

2020 Fiscal Third Quarter and Nine Month Highlights

Revenue for the 2020 fiscal third quarter was approximately $26.6 million and approximately $98.8 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2020. Although the Company's overall revenue has stabilized with an expected longer-term "bullish outlook", the onset and spread of COVID-19 ("coronavirus" or "pandemic") had an impact on GEE Group's business and revenue in the third quarter from the resulting client office and factory closures, postponement of customers' job orders and government mandated "lock-downs". These actions taken by businesses and state and local governments to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus primarily affected the Company's lower-margin contract staffing business (industrial services and office support) and, to a lesser extent, GEE Group's non-IT professional contract services and direct hire placement business. The higher margin IT services business was more resilient to the pandemic and some of the Company's IT services actually grew as compared to the comparable 2019 prior year periods. The resultant effects of the pandemic contributed to lower overall revenue by approximately 30% and by approximately 12%, respectively, as compared to overall revenue from the prior year fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Contract staffing services contributed approximately $23.5 million or approximately 88% of revenue and direct hire placement services contributed approximately $3.1 million or approximately 12% of revenue for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2020.This compares to contract staffing services revenue of approximately $33.2 million or approximately 87% of revenue and direct hire placement revenue of approximately $4.9 million or 13% of revenue for the comparable prior year third quarter. Contract staffing services revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $86.8 million or 88% of revenue and direct hire placement revenue was approximately $12.0 million or 12% of revenue. This compares to contract staffing services revenue of approximately $99.0 million or 88% of revenue and direct hire placement revenue of approximately $13.8 million or 12% of revenue for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Revenue from the combined professional contract and professional direct hire placement services, which is comprised of staffing and solutions in the information technology, engineering, healthcare and finance & accounting specialties, was approximately $23.7 million and approximately $85.8 million for the fiscal 2020 third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2020 respectively. This represents approximately 89% and approximately 87% of total revenue for the 2020 fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2020 respectively. This compares to approximately $32.7 million or approximately 86% of revenue and approximately $96.7 million or approximately 86% of revenue for the comparable prior year third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019 respectively.

Industrial services revenue was approximately $2.9 million for the 2020 fiscal third quarter and approximately $13.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. This compares to industrial staffing services revenue of approximately $5.4 million and approximately $16.2 million for the comparable 2019 fiscal third quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 2019 respectively.

Combined overall gross margin for the 2020 fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2020 (which includes both contract and direct hire placement services) improved due to increases in the proportions of higher margin services in the fiscal 2020 third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2020. Overall gross margin was approximately 36.4% and 34.6% for the fiscal 2020 third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2020 respectively. This compared to 35.6% and 34.3% for the comparable prior year fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Professional contract staffing services gross margin improved (excluding direct hire placement services) for the 2020 fiscal third quarter and was approximately 26.7% and approximately 26.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. This compares to approximately 26.1% and approximately 25.7% for the comparable prior year fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019. The combined professional staffing services gross margin (including direct hire placement services) for the 2020 fiscal third quarter was approximately 36.3% and approximately 36.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. This compares to 37.1% and 36.3% for the comparable fiscal 2019 third quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 2019 respectively. The changes in combined professional staffing services gross margin were primarily due to a higher amount of direct hire placement services revenue in the prior year third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Industrial contract services gross margin for the 2020 fiscal third quarter was approximately 13% before the benefit of workers' compensation insurance premium rebates from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and was approximately 37.1% including the benefit of the rebates. This compares to approximately 14.7% before the benefit of the rebates and approximately 26.8% including the benefit of the rebates for the fiscal 2019 third quarter. Industrial contract services gross margin for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2020 before the benefit of the rebates was approximately 14.2% and approximately 19.9% after the benefit of the rebates. This compares to approximately 14.1% before the benefit of the rebates and approximately 22.5% after the benefit of the rebates for the comparable period in fiscal 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the fiscal 2020 third quarter were approximately 38% of revenue and approximately $10.2 million (including acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses of approximately $1.6 million and noncash stock compensation expense of approximately $337,000) and decreased by approximately $1.4 million as compared to the fiscal 2019 third quarter. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, SG&A was approximately $34.3 million as compared to approximately $34.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. SG&A for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, included an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.7 million due from one industrial services client who filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2020.

GAAP loss from operations for the 2020 fiscal third quarter was significantly lower and approximately $1.7 million as compared to approximately $3.8 million for the 2019 fiscal third quarter. GAAP loss from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $4.2 million as compared to GAAP loss from operations of approximately $4.6 million for nine moths ended June 30, 2019.

GAAP net income including the effect of a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $12.3 million for the 2020 fiscal third quarter was approximately $7.2 million as compared to a GAAP net loss of approximately $6.8 million for the 2019 fiscal third quarter. GAAP net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $1.8 million as compared to GAAP net loss of approximately $14.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, noncash stock and stock option expenses, noncash goodwill impairment charge, and acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses and gain on extinguishment of debt (adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure) for the 2020 fiscal third quarter was approximately $1.4 million as compared to approximately $3.1 million for the prior year fiscal third quarter. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, adjusted EBITDA was approximately $4.4 million as compared to approximately $8.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. The Company was able to produce positive adjusted EBITDA for the 2020 fiscal third quarter despite the coronavirus effects on revenue in part through implementation of targeted cost saving and cost reduction initiatives coupled with a "pivot" in sales and marketing efforts to industries and businesses that are benefiting from the pandemic and are using more alternative staffing arrangements including contingent labor and direct hire placement services offered by the Company. (see non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA reconciliations to GAAP net income (net loss) attached to this press release).

Select GAAP Balance Sheet Information as of June 30, 2020: net working capital of approximately $6.9 million, current ratio of approximately 1.3, cash position of approximately $16.6 million, shareholders' equity of approximately $39.7 million and net book value per common share of approximately $2.24.

GAAP Earnings Per Common Share Information: diluted earnings per common share of approximately $1.88 and approximately $1.48 for the fiscal 2020 third quarter and the nine-month period ended June 30, 2020, respectively, based on consolidated net income available to common shareholders of approximately $31.7 million for the fiscal 2020 third quarter and approximately $22.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

CARES Act and Legislative/Executive Branch Update: The Payroll Protection Plan ("PPP") Loans totaling approximately $19.9 million received by GEE Group have provided critical liquidity for the Company and were utilized for the prescribed purposes during the fiscal 2020 third quarter. GEE Group anticipates that it will spend the remainder of the proceeds in the 2020 fiscal fourth quarter and apply for maximum forgiveness subsequent to the expiration of the 24-week period in accordance with the applicable S.B.A. and U.S. Treasury rules and regulations. In addition, relief in the form of a "payroll tax deferral" for payment of GEE Group's share of social security tax for certain employees continues in effect through December 31, 2020 based upon current rules and regulations. Proposed legislation introduced in Congress ("HEALS Act" and "HEROES Act") may, if a compromise is reached and legislation is enacted, and/or President Trump's "Executive Order" possibly provide additional economic benefits to the Company in the future.

Covid-19 ("coronavirus") Update, Impact and Business Trends: The global coronavirus pandemic had an initial impact on the Company starting approximately in mid-to-late March 2020, and the resultant mandated government "shutdowns", quarantines and business closures limited GEE Group's ability to have personnel in its offices and recruit and deploy human resources to its clients who, in many cases, shut down their business operations. The Company immediately adapted to the constraints and, with enhanced technology, migrated to "alternative work arrangements" including "work from home". GEE Group also adjusted its cost structure and reduced internal employee headcount based upon the lower demand for its services. The Company partially reopened offices, rotated shifts in offices for social distancing and created a "hybrid" work environment. A gradual re-opening of customers' businesses coupled with increased use of personal protective equipment, led to a gradual increase in demand in the latter part of the 2020 third quarter. Many furloughed employees have returned to work. The Company is experiencing increased demand and its business is on an upward trajectory.

Recently Completed Recapitalization and Restructuring: On June 30, 2020, GEE Group completed a recapitalization and restructuring transaction which substantially deleveraged the Company's balance sheet, significantly increased shareholders' equity by over $40 million pre-tax and improved the Company's overall financial condition. The Company eliminated a total of approximately $47.4 million of debt and related leverage consisting of $19.7 million of subordinated debt and approximately $27.7 million of preferred stock mezzanine financing at a substantial discount in exchange for cash of approximately $5.1 million inclusive of accrued interest and the issuance of approximately 1.8 million of GEE Group common shares. The Company is now much better positioned financially and is pursuing opportunities with commercial banks and other lenders to refinance all or a portion of its senior debt on more attractive terms including lower interest costs. This includes government assisted financing programs such as the "Main Street Lending Program".

Management Comments

Derek E. Dewan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GEE Group, commented, "The market for contingent labor and human resource solutions has evolved well beyond the age-old strategies and processes that many staffing and recruiting firms still employ. Our Company continues to pivot, refine its internal processes and narrow its focus on new business opportunities in segments of the economy that benefit from the coronavirus pandemic. GEE Group has made significant investments in identifying and successfully implementing a multi-step sales and marketing approach that equips our field staffing managers to better engage targeted clients "real time" with greater success. On the heels of GEE Group's recent recapitalization and financial restructuring, we are now able to roll out this strategy nationwide."

Mr. Dewan further stated, "The current crisis that we are all unfortunately dealing with, while terrible in so many ways, has created pockets of business that we have been able to successfully garner with our revised sales focus and marketing strategy. We are pleased with the results we have seen thus far in test markets as our teams quickly master each element of the process. During the past several months, many competitors have reduced their sales and recruitment personnel through layoffs, and/or have closed offices in many markets. GEE Group has capitalized on the opportunity to acquire internal talent from this unemployed pool of well qualified candidates that would otherwise have been unavailable to the Company. We will continue to selectively hire the "best and brightest" from this group and are optimistic about their upcoming contributions, particularly on the new business development front."

Mr. Dewan concluded, "GEE Group's financial performance in the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2020 was exceptional despite COVID-19 and its negative effect on the U.S. and global economies. The Company has adapted to the "new normal". Business has stabilized nicely and is trending upward in an improving demand environment. GEE Group is well-positioned financially and I am excited about the prospects to grow revenue, continue to reduce and refinance debt on more attractive terms, optimize our capital structure, improve profitability and maximize shareholder value".

SEC Filings, Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Other Financial Information

The aforementioned 2020 Fiscal Third Quarter and Nine-Month Highlights and Other Financial Information should be read in conjunction with all of the information included in GEE Group's Quarterly Reports filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q for the respective periods, Current Reports on Forms 8-K & 8-K/A and Information Statements on Schedules 14A & 14C filed with the SEC, and Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Also, the discussion of financial results in this press release and disclosures regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures and related schedules attached hereto which reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the financial information prescribed by GAAP are important to readers to help gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Company's financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures and metrics of financial results or financial performance presented herein are not a substitute for the financial measures provided by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives, replacements or superior to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company discloses certain financial information including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to supplement its GAAP financial statements because management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying operating trends and results in its business, to establish operational goals, to provide additional measures of operating performance, including using the information for internal planning relating to the Company's ability to meet debt service, make capital expenditures and provide working capital needs. In addition, the Company believes investors already use these non-GAAP measures to monitor the Company's performance. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income or net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) plus non-cash stock option and stock-based compensation expenses, plus acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, less gain on extinguishment of debt and plus noncash goodwill impairment charges. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined by GAAP and, as a result, the Company's measure of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included, accordingly, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to net income or net loss and income or loss from operations as reported for GAAP on the Consolidated Statements of Income, cash and cash flows as reported for GAAP in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and as reflected on the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP included in GEE Group's Form 10-Q and Form 10-K filed for the respective fiscal periods with the SEC. Reconciliations of GAAP net income or GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA are attached hereto.

Financial information provided in this press release may consist of estimates, projections, pro forma data and certain assumptions that are considered forward looking statements and that are predictive or hypothetical in nature and depend on future events. The estimates and assumptions and related projected or pro forma financial results may not be realized nor are they guarantees of future performance.

Dialog Semiconductor Expands Collaboration with Renesas as Preferred Power Solution Provider for Automotive Platforms

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / Dialog Semiconductor plc (XETRA:DLG), a leading provider of battery management, AC/DC power conversion, Wi-Fi(R), Bluetooth(R) low energy, and Industrial ICs, today announced that it is expanding its collaboration with Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, by introducing its power management IC (PMIC) solutions for the R-Car M3 and R-Car E3 automotive computing platforms.

Building on the collaboration between the two companies on the Renesas' R-Car Gen 2 and R-Car H3 platforms, the power solutions for the R-Car M3 and R-Car E3 platform include the DA9063-A system PMIC and the DA9224-A sub PMIC. Each device is precisely configured to meet the specific power rail requirements including voltage levels, peak currents and power sequencing for delivering an "exact fit" power solution.

Dialog's highly integrated PMICs are extremely efficient, resulting in the smallest form factor at a low bill of materials (BoM) cost, while easing thermal design complexity, a critical factor in the adverse temperature environments of automotive systems.

"The expanded collaboration between Dialog and Renesas enables the leading automotive Tier-1 suppliers to deliver differentiated, reliable, high-performance and cost-effective electronic systems based on the industry leading R-Car platforms," said Tom Sandoval, Senior Vice President, Automotive Business Segment, Dialog Semiconductor. "As processing power demands and platform specific requirements continue to increase across automotive systems, our collaboration with Renesas delivers significant benefits to our joint customers."

The unique partitioning of system-level power delivery into highly configurable system PMICs and sub-PMICs enables the scalability and flexibility of Dialog's power management solutions. A wide variety of SoC system power specifications can be easily met using the same PMIC devices, allowing designers to optimize their power requirements throughout the design process. This delivers the most energy-efficient, high-performance product for the specific end application.

"Automotive electronics designers can easily make power configuration and sequencing changes to meet their SoC system with Dialog's flexible, scalable power solutions. Our joint work with Renesas enables SoC solutions with best-in-class power efficiency," Sandoval added.

The DA9063-A system PMIC and the DA9224-A sub-PMIC feature significant scalability and flexibility advantages while distributing heat dissipation in elevated temperature environments. The built-in configurability engines provide system designers with the ability to easily solve their power sequencing, thermal and system control challenges. An intuitive GUI (Smart Canvas) simplifies the customization to achieve an "exact fit" power management solution. The result is a highly optimized, cost-effective power management solution that enables the most competitive, differentiated system design.

All devices are available as full AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified devices.

ENDRA Life Sciences Provides Business Update and Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. ("ENDRA") (NASDAQ:NDRA), the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), today provided a business update and reported second quarter 2020 financial results.

"During the second quarter, we achieved another major milestone on the path to commercializing TAEUS with our 510(k) Premarket Notification submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA")," said Francois Michelon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The submission represents the culmination of years of scientific research, quality system implementation, clinical data collection, and biocompatibility and safety testing. I'm very proud of the ENDRA team, especially for working tirelessly through an unprecedented global pandemic to ensure the submission was made on the aggressive schedule we set before COVID-19 was a consideration."

As Renaud Maloberti, Chief Commercial Officer, explained, "The FDA submission builds on the receipt of the CE Mark in Europe for our TAEUS liver system in the first quarter and positions the company to begin commercialization in two major markets in the second half of 2020 to start positively impacting the lives of more than 1 billion people globally affected by Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)."

Q2 2020 and Recent Business Highlights

Completed 510(k) Premarket Notification submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for TAEUS Fatty Liver Imaging Probe ("FLIP") on schedule, setting stage for potential clearance and commercialization in the U.S. in 2020.
Secured new partnership with the Medical College of Wisconsin ("MCW"), a world-renowned healthcare institution, for a clinical study of ENDRA's Thermo-Acoustic Enhanced Ultrasound (TAEUS™) device for assessing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease ("NAFLD"). This represents the third research partnership for ENDRA, which will help bolster the clinical evidence and further establish the clinical utility of the TAEUS device in patients with NAFLD, as commercialization gets underway.
Advanced European commercialization strategy, following CE Mark approval, including advancing to final stages of establishing initial evaluation sites in key markets, as well as hiring an initial salesperson in the U.K. and identifying leading candidates in other key markets.
Increased intellectual property (IP) portfolio to 72 assets defined, filed and issued, including key platform patents in the United States, Europe and China to defend our technology and current and future clinical applications for which there are currently no practical clinical tools.
Remain on track with key milestones of establishing clinical evaluation reference sites in Q3 and initial sales in Europe in Q4 2020.

Financial Results for Quarter Ended March 31, 2020

Operating expenses increased to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, up from $2.3 million in the same period in 2019. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to expenses related to the development of our TAEUS product line, and costs associated with the pre-commercialization of TAEUS.
Net loss in Q2 2020 totaled $2.9 million, or ($0.20) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $2.3 million, or ($0.31) per basic and diluted share in Q2 2019.
Cash balance at June 30, 2020 was $749,000 and totaled approximately $2.4 million as of August 14, 2020 due primarily to voluntary early warrant conversions, compared to $6.2 million at December 31, 2019, with no long-term debt outstanding.

MGX Minerals Completes Petrographic Study on High Grade 6 Ounce per Tonne Gold Sample from Heino Deposit

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / MGX Minerals Inc. ("MGX" or the "Company") (CSE:XMG)( FKT:1MG)(OTC PINK:MGXMF) is pleased to provide a petrographic report by Vancouver Petrographic Labs was completed on sample #303 taken from an upper portal at the Heino Money Gold Deposit. The report provides direction for upcoming metallurgy and process design expected to commence by month end. Summary comments, followed by the report in its entirety provided below.

"In this sample (#303), native gold occurs grossly with sulphides, but in detail, it is mainly concentrated in silicates (quartz and Mineral A), and is concentrated strongly in one patch 1.5-2 mm across. This detailed distribution would be important if and when the time comes for any metallurgical extraction of gold."

Summary

Sample 303 is of massive sulphide dominated by intimate intergrowths of pyrrhotite (fresh to altered slightly to strongly to secondary Fe-minerals), sphalerite, quartz, and a silicate (Mineral A). Minor minerals include galena, hematite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and native gold (which occurs mainly in quartz and in Mineral A). Two proximal patches up to 1.5 mm across are of medium to coarse grained quartz. A vein is of pyrite and lesser silicate(s). A few seams are of sheared rock, one of which contains sphalerite and the others of which contain hematite/limonite Photo A.

Note: a polished thick section was prepared; thus, an unknown silicate (Mineral A) could not be identified optically. The K-feldspar stain on the offcut block indicates the presence of K-feldspar, mainly in a patch in one corner of the block near the large quartz patches.

Petrographic Report

The sample is of massive sulphide dominated by intimate intergrowths of pyrrhotite (fresh to altered slightly to strongly to secondary Fe-minerals), sphalerite, quartz, and a silicate (Mineral A). Minor minerals include galena, hematite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and native gold (which occurs mainly in quartz and in Mineral A). Two proximal patches up to 1.5 mm across are of medium to coarse grained quartz. A vein is of pyrite and lesser silicate(s). A few seams are of sheared rock, one of which contains sphalerite and the others of which contain hematite/limonite.

mineral percentage main grain size range (mm)

quartz 50-55% 0.05-0.5; 1-5

pyrrhotite 10-12 0.1-0.3

sphalerite 5- 7 0.2-1

galena 0.3 0.1-0.3

hematite 0.3 0.005-0.02(?)

arsenopyrite 0.2 0.5-0.7

chalcopyrite 0.1 0.03-0.05

native gold minor 0.01-0.05

native silver (?) trace 0.005-0.01

Quartz occurs in two main modes. It forms two proximal medium to coarse grained patches, each of which is up to 1.5 cm across. It forms very fine to fine anhedral to locally euhedral grains intergrown very finely to finely with sulphides and with a second non-reflective mineral, Mineral A, probably a silicate.

Mineral A occurs with quartz in patches interstitial to sulphides; it has slightly lower reflectivity than quartz and in places contains inclusions of quartz.

Pyrrhotite forms anhedral patches intergrown very finely to finely with minor to abundant sphalerite and silicates. It is strongly anisotropic and strongly magnetic. Some patches are fresh, some are altered slightly to moderately to botryoidal aggregates of secondary Fe-sulphide, and some are altered moderately to strongly to secondary Fe-sulphides and patches of non-reflective opaque. A few patches were replaced by secondary pyrite.

Sphalerite forms anhedral grains, most of the larger ones of which contain inclusions of pyrrhotite as grains from 0.1-0.5 mm in size and as exsolution blebs from 0.005-0.015 mm in size.

Galena forms scattered to locally moderately abundant patches, mainly intergrown coarsely with sphalerite.

Hematite forms a few secondary massive to less commonly botryoidal patches that are intergrown coarsely with sphalerite, quartz, and pyrrhotite.

Arsenopyrite forms one euhedral prismatic grain in sphalerite with lesser quartz and pyrrhotite.

Chalcopyrite forms scattered patches, mainly in silicates and mainly near patches of sphalerite. It also forms elongates lenses up to 0.1 mm long in fractures in silicates.

Native gold is concentrated in one area up to 1.5 mm in size as abundant disseminated irregular grains in quartz and in Mineral A. Elsewhere it forms very few disseminated grains, mainly in quartz and Mineral A.

Native silver (or possibly galena) occurs locally with native gold or in quartz and Mineral A in the area with abundant native gold.

A vein up to 1 mm wide is of massive pyrite and patches of silicates.

A sheared zone up to 0.1 mm wide contain granulated sphalerite and silicates.

A few veinlets (possibly sheared zones) up to 0.15 mm wide contain limonite/hematite.

About Predictmedix Inc.

Predictmedix Inc. is an artificial intelligence ("AI") company developing disruptive tools for impairment testing and healthcare. It is intended that the Company's cannabis and alcohol impairment detection tools will be used across various workplaces and by law enforcement agents. Its technology uses facial and voice recognition to identify both cannabis and alcohol impairment by utilizing multiple features along with numerous different data points. Testing does not require any body fluids or human intervention, thereby helping to remove human error and the potential for discrimination and prejudice.

The Company is also developing AI based screening for the healthcare industry. The recent advent of COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented stress on the global economy and highlights the need for tools to help screen mass populations for infectious diseases, with the hope of preventing pandemics in the future. In turn, Predictmedix Inc. is expanding its proprietary AI technology to screen for infectious diseases such as influenza and coronaviruses (COVID-19). Our current partners along with advisory board members have played a key role in gathering data pertaining to COVID-19, which has allowed us to develop a predictive mass screening tool for COVID-19. The technology is for mass screening and is to be used to predict and identify individuals who have the highest likelihood of being infected with COVID-19.

Additionally, psychiatric disorders such as depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease can carry a significant burden and early identification is the key to better management. To help address this, the Company is also expanding its proprietary AI technology to screen for psychiatric and/or brain disorders such as depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
